Its IP67 and IP69K ratings mean the sensor body and the connector interface survive hose-down cleaning at close range, so it fits on food processing, beverage, or pharmaceutical lines where sanitation cycles are routine. It runs on a wide 24-240 V AC or DC supply, which simplifies wiring in panels that mix control voltages — you don't need a separate voltage regulator for the sensor loop. The 2-wire AC/DC output is normally open (NO), switching up to 300 mA load current. ## Sensing range and target correction Unshielded design gives a sensing range of 8 mm minimum to 15 mm maximum on mild steel. That 15 mm top end is the rated distance on a standard steel target; for stainless steel, derate by roughly 0.7x, so expect reliable detection at about 10-11 mm. The yellow LED indicator lights when the target is in range, which helps during setup without a separate alignment tool. ## Regulatory approvals and compliance paperwork Carries UL Listed, CSA, CE, and CCC marks, plus RoHS compliance — this covers North American and European panel builds. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating matches the IP67/IP69K ingress protection, so the sensor is suitable for indoor and outdoor corrosive environments like wastewater or chemical dosing stations. Listed as current production, so it's still a standard catalogue item through Telemecanique distribution.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XS218AAMAU20 Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS218AAMAU20 inductive proximity sensor, M18 threaded, unshielded, 15mm sensing range, 2-wire AC/DC, IP67/IP69K, UL/CSA/CE.
